It occured to me that I haven’t posted anything about London Fashion Week. I’ve comissioned a couple of articles on it but haven’t actually put anything up myself. Although it was over a month ago (Always falls on my birthday – how apt!), that was when I f’d up my old blog and couldn’t post on it. I helped out backstage at the Fashion Mavericks presentation which was great fun and where I met some fascinating people and great talent from up & coming designers such as Saffron Knight, Kamola and Lako Bukia. I get great pleasure in discovering new designers – its necessary for the future of fashion – but they have such a hard time breaking through when the big names or celebrity “designers” (naming no names, *ahem*Nicky Hilton*ahem*) dominate the runways – whatever their ‘designs’ look like.

I spent the day running around in platforms which completely did in my feet and then had to rush home to get ready for my birthday party in the evening, where my friends arrived earlier than me…oops. I was  so exhausted, having survived only on a banana and about a gallon of Vitamin Water, courtesy of the show’s sponsors (I had to fit into my birthday outfit!). Anyway, I digress – but I just thought I’d stick up my favourite snaps of the day. Enjoy!
